TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the invention are in the field of semiconductor devices and, in particular, memory.

BACKGROUND

Scaling of memory, such as dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), is challenging in part due to lithography constraints. For example, DRAM memory cells may include an access transistor and a capacitor. As those memory cells are more aggressively scaled, it becomes increasingly difficult for circuit designers to formulate memory arrays where operating one memory cell avoids undesirable interference with an adjacent memory cell. Such interference can result in, for example, the loss of data stored within the adjacent memory cell. To prevent this interference, the adjacent memory cells may be separated from each other using insulation techniques (e.g., shallow trench isolation (STI)). However, accurate location of such insulation materials between tightly spaced adjacent memory cells is increasingly difficult as scaling increases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made to the drawings wherein like structures may be provided with like suffix reference designations. In order to show the structures of various embodiments more clearly, the drawings included herein are diagrammatic representations of semiconductor/circuit structures. Thus, the actual appearance of the fabricated integrated circuit structures, for example in a photomicrograph, may appear different while still incorporating the claimed structures of the illustrated embodiments (e.g., walls may not be exactly orthogonal to one another in actual fabricated devices). Moreover, the drawings may only show the structures useful to understand the illustrated embodiments. Additional structures known in the art may not have been included to maintain the clarity of the drawings. For example, not every layer (e.g., barrier layer, seed layer, etch stop layer) of a semiconductor device is necessarily shown. “An embodiment”, “various embodiments” and the like indicate embodiment(s) so described may include particular features, structures, or characteristics, but not every embodiment necessarily includes the particular features, structures, or characteristics. Some embodiments may have some, all, or none of the features described for other embodiments. “First”, “second”, “third” and the like describe a common object and indicate different instances of like objects are being referred to. Such adjectives do not imply objects so described must be in a given sequence, either temporally, spatially, in ranking, or in any other manner. “Connected” may indicate elements are in direct physical or electrical contact with each other and “coupled” may indicate elements cooperate or interact with each other, but they may or may not be in direct physical or electrical contact.

As mentioned above, manufacturing memory is increasingly difficult as scaling (e.g., minimum pitch) becomes more extreme. Applicant determined such scaling issues are particularly onerous when patterning, for example, access transistors for memory cells.

For instance, such memory cells may include FinFET access transistors. A FinFET is a transistor built around a vertical fin of semiconductor material (referred to as the “fin”). The transistor includes the standard field effect transistor (FET) nodes/components: a gate, a gate dielectric, a source region, and a drain region.

FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C illustrate the issues with FinFET access transistor patterning identified by Applicant. FIG. 1A provides a schematic representation of a conventional memory array. FIG. 1B provides a cross-section of a rendition of the array of FIG. 1A. FIG. 1C provides a top view of a layout scheme for the array of FIG. 1A. FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C are addressed concurrently below.

Array 100 provides two “1T-1C” (one transistor, one capacitor) memory cells. Array 100 includes gate metal (e.g., word lines 121, 122, 123, 124), diffusion (e.g., fin 163), and contacts (e.g., 131, 141, 142). The diffusion/fin has 2D patterning and is at a tight pitch. More specifically, a first memory cell includes transistor 101 and capacitor 111 and a second memory cell includes transistor 102 and capacitor 112. Word line 121 activates transistor 101 while word line 122 activates transistor 102. Bit line (see contact 131 that leads to a bit line) couples to both memory cells. Word lines 123, 124 are “passing” word lines that “pass” the two memory cells (which include transistors 101 and 102) on their way to operate other cells, such as cells 161, 162. Passing word lines 123, 124 are isolated from access transistors 101, 102 by STI portions 151, 152. In FIG. 1C passing word line 123 passes over an unseen STI region (which is shown in FIG. 1B). STI is used to isolate bitcells not only in the same row (vertically aligned in image) but also in the same column (horizontally aligned) in the image.

Further, fin 163 has portions 164 removed from the fin in order to isolate memory cells from neighboring memory cells. For example, the removal of fin material at space 165 helps to isolate cell 161 from cell 166. While FIG. 1C does not show bit lines or capacitors for the memory cells, the figure does show contact locations for bit lines (see contact 131) and capacitors (see contacts 141, 142).

Again, at extremely small scales selectively removing fin portions (see locations 164, 165) and selectively forming STI 151, 152 is quite difficult. However, doing so is traditionally needed so, for example, memory cell 166 and/or passing word lines 125, 126 do not affect the stored data of memory cell 161.

With regard to DRAM in particular, in DRAM or embedded DRAM (eDRAM) with conventional capacitors the diffusion (e.g., fin) connecting to the storage node of one bit cell (e.g., a source or drain node coupled to a capacitor of a memory cell) must be electrically isolated from the storage node of an adjacent bit cell. However, patterning the isolation region between diffusions is challenging because the patterning is two-dimensional and at an extremely tight pitch. Depending on the layout style used, the diffusion/isolation patterning is either the tightest pitch or the second tightest pitch in the entire DRAM product.

In contrast, an embodiment utilizes capacitors that are more robust or resistant to the above mentioned interference. For instance, embodiments use ferroelectric capacitor memory to store data in the memory cells. While ferroelectric capacitor memory provides advantages for lower power and scalability with regard to conventional memory cells, another advantage is that with ferroelectric memory diffusion patterning (e.g., forming FinFETs) may be highly simplified and thus allow for more cost effective scaling.

More specifically, an embodiment includes a memory cell (sometimes referred to as a “bitcell”) that uses the non-volatile property of ferroelectric capacitors to store data even when a storage node of the memory cell is not isolated. Although the diffusion (e.g., a fin) is continuous (lacks areas such as area 165 of FIG. 1C) and the array includes passing word lines that have the capability to turn “on” adjacent memory cells (due to parasitic capacitance on the passing word line), the electrical coupling related to the parasitic capacitance does not result in data loss due to, for example, the qualities of ferroelectric capacitors.

Because embodiments include a diffusion (e.g., fin) that is a continuous, homogeneous, one dimensional pattern, the embodiments are highly scalable and low cost. This is because removal of fins (e.g., area 165) and accurate placement of STI (151, 152) is no longer essential considering the data is preserved due to ferroelectricity.

Ferroelectric memory refers to a memory technology employing ferroelectric materials. A ferroelectric material is a material that exhibits, over some range of temperatures, a spontaneous electric polarization (i.e., displacement of positive and negative charges from their original position), that can be reversed or reoriented by application of an electric field. Because the displacement of the charges in ferroelectric materials can be maintained for some time even in the absence of an electric field, such materials may be used to implement memory cells. A ferroelectric material may include anti-ferroelectric materials as well.

Embodiments using ferroelectric memories provide adequate non-volatility, short programming time, low power consumption, high endurance, and high speed writing. In addition, such embodiments may be manufactured using processes compatible with the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology.

A ferroelectric memory cell disclosed herein includes one non-planar access transistor and one ferroelectric capacitor. The non-planar access transistor could be a tri-gate or an all-around gate transistor. Other embodiments may include planar transistors, Reces s-Channel-Array-Transistors (RCAT), and the like. An access transistor is coupled to the ferroelectric capacitor by sharing its source/drain terminal with one electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor and is used for both READ and WRITE access to the ferroelectric capacitor. The ferroelectric material employed in the ferroelectric capacitor may include, for example, materials exhibiting ferroelectric behavior at thin dimensions, such as hafnium zirconium oxide (HfZrO, also referred to as HZO, which includes hafnium, zirconium, and oxygen), silicon-doped (Si-doped) hafnium oxide (which is a material that includes hafnium, oxygen, and silicon), germanium-doped (Ge-doped) hafnium oxide (which is a material that includes hafnium, oxygen, and germanium), aluminum-doped (Al-doped) hafnium oxide (which is a material that includes hafnium, oxygen, and aluminum), yttrium-doped (Y-doped) hafnium oxide (which is a material that includes hafnium, oxygen, and yttrium), lead zirconate titanate (which is a material that includes lead, zirconium, and titanium), barium zirconate titanate (which is a material that includes barium, zirconium and titanium), and combinations thereof. Some embodiments include hafnium, zirconium, barium, titanium, and/or lead, and combinations thereof.

FIG. 2A provides a ferroelectric eDRAM 200 layout in an embodiment. Gate metal is in word lines 225, 226, 223, 221, 222, 224, diffusion areas are in fins 268, 267, 263, 269, and metal is in source/drain (S/D) contacts (e.g., 241, 242 to couple to memory cell capacitors (that are not shown) and 231 to couple to a bit line that is not shown). Unlike FIGS. 1B and 1C, the diffusion/fin 263 uses a single dimension pattern without complicated STI patterning. Electrical isolation is achieved between adjacent storage nodes (e.g., nodes with a standard FinFET operating in the subthreshold regime) due to the characteristics of the ferroelectric capacitors. Further, in some embodiments even though transistor 201 may be turned on as the word line 221 is used to access transistor 203, no data is lost within the memory cell that includes transistor 201 due to the ferroelectric nature of the capacitor of the memory cell that includes transistor 201.

Due to the lack of isolation between passing word line 223 and bitcell word line 221 (for transistor 201), the DRAM controller in an embodiment operates in a way such that word lines 221, 221 are not on at the same time in order to preserve the data for the cell that includes transistor 201.

FIG. 2B includes a cross-section of a portion of the array of FIG. 2A. Array 200 includes a substrate 270. The substrate may include a front end with transistors included therein. However, the substrate may instead include a substrate such as package substrate 703 of FIG. 3 (described below). Array 200 includes a monolithic fin 271 on the substrate 703. By “monolithic” the fin does not include gaps such as gap 165 of FIG. 1C, which separates what once was a monolithic fin into two or more separate fins. Monolithic further means the fin was formed of a single large portion of semiconductor material.

Array 200 includes first, second, third, and fourth word lines 221, 222, 289, 290. The array further includes passing word lines 224, 225, 291. A passing word line is a function of context. For example, word line 123 (FIG. 1C) is passing with regard to the cell including device 101 but is not passing with regard to cell 161.

Array 200 includes first, second, third, and fourth channels 272, 273, 274, 275 included in fin 271. The first channel 272 is between the substrate 270 and the first word line 221, the second channel 273 is between the substrate and the second word line 222. Array 200 includes first, second, third, and fourth capacitors 211, 212, 276, 277. Each of the capacitors may include ferroelectric materials such as, for example, oxygen and at least one of hafnium, zirconium, barium, titanium, lead, or combinations thereof.

Array 200 includes bit line 231, as well as interconnects 231′, 231″ that couple cells to bit line 231. Semiconductor S/D node 280 couples capacitor 211 to channel 272. Semiconductor node 281 couples bit line 231 to channel 272. Semiconductor S/D node 282 couples capacitor 212 to channel 273. Semiconductor S/D node 283 couples capacitor 276 to channel 274 and semiconductor S/D node 284 couples bit line 231 to channel 274. Semiconductor S/D node 285 couples capacitor 277 to channel 275.

Fin 271 includes long axis 286 and a fin portion 287 between semiconductor nodes 282, 283. Axis 286 intersects channels 272, 273, 274, 275 and fin portion 287. Instead of gap 164 or 165 (see FIG. 1C) or STI 151, 152 (see FIG. 1B), fin portion 287 is yet another portion of monolithic fin 271. Fin 271 includes a first half 271′ and a second half 271″ with the second half 271″ between the first half 271′ and the substrate 270. Axis 286 intersects first half 271′. For example, fin 271 is continuous and uninterrupted between nodes 280 and 285 (and beyond). Further, plane 288 is parallel to long axis 286. Plane 288 intersects channels 272, 273, 274, 275, word lines 225, 221, 222, 224, 289, 290, 291, bit line 231 as well as bit line interconnects 231′, 231″, and capacitors 211, 212, 276, 277.

In an embodiment array 200 is included in DRAM, such as eDRAM. Embedded memory is non-stand-alone memory. It may be an integrated on-chip memory that supports a logic core to accomplish intended functions. It may be located in the same die as a processor or on a die that is included in the same package (e.g., see FIG. 3) as the processor.

As described above, word line 223 (or word line 224 in FIG. 2B) may be a passing word line that is a word line that operates a memory cell not shown in FIG. 2A. Such a memory cell may be located just “above” or “below” the 2D planar rendering of FIG. 2A. As mentioned elsewhere herein, a passing word line is a function of context where the word line may pass a first cell and not operate to activate that cell but may indeed operate a second cell. In other embodiments, word line 223 is a dummy word line.

FIG. 3 includes a package system in an embodiment. The system includes a processor die 701 (a first package) on a package substrate 703. A memory die (a second package) 702 couples to the substrate 703 by way of interposer system 707. Underfill material exists between die 701 and substrate 703. Substrate 703 may include controlled collapse chip connection (C4) interconnects 706. Further, to prevent warping of die 701, die 701 may couple to a metal stiffener 704. Die 701 may include a die stack (e.g., multiple dies which may have the same function or differing functions) that may be molded as one unit that functions as a single die. For example, one die of the stack may have a first logic function while another die of the stack has another logic function that differs from the first logic function.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, die 702 may include the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein. In another embodiment die 701 includes the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein. In an embodiment die 701 includes the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein and die 702 includes the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein.

In an embodiment element 704 is not a stiffener but instead is a heat spreader (or is both a stiffener and a heat spreader). A heat spreader is a heat exchanger that moves heat between a heat source and a secondary heat exchanger whose surface area and geometry are more favorable than the source. Such a spreader may be a plate made of copper, which has a high thermal conductivity. By definition, heat is “spread out” over this geometry, so that the secondary heat exchanger may be more fully utilized. This has the potential to increase the heat capacity of the total assembly.

Thus, FIG. 3 depicts an integrated circuit and a memory on a package substrate. The integrated circuit may include the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein. For example, the circuit may include eDRAM including the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein. For example, the circuit may be a field programmable gate array (FPGA) including the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein.

A power management integrated circuit (PMIC) 915 couples to application processor 910 to perform platform level power management. To this end, PMIC 915 may issue power management requests to application processor 910 to enter certain low power states as desired. Furthermore, based on platform constraints, PMIC 915 may also control the power level of other components of system 900.

To enable communications to be transmitted and received such as in one or more internet of things (IoT) networks, various circuitry may be coupled between baseband processor 905 and an antenna 990. Specifically, a radio frequency (RF) transceiver 970 and a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver 975 may be present. In general, RF transceiver 970 may be used to receive and transmit wireless data and calls according to a given wireless communication protocol such as 3G or 4G or 5G wireless communication protocol such as in accordance with a code division multiple access (CDMA), global system for mobile communication (GSM), long term evolution (LTE) or other protocol. In addition a GPS sensor 980 may be present, with location information being provided to security processor 950 for use as described herein when context information is to be used in a pairing process.

In addition, via WLAN transceiver 975, local wireless communications, such as according to a Bluetooth™ or IEEE 802.11 standard can also be realized.

Multiprocessor system 1000 is a point-to-point interconnect system such as a server system, and includes a first processor 1070 and a second processor 1080 coupled via a point-to-point interconnect 1050. Each of processors 1070 and 1080 may be multicore processors (which may include the memory arrays of FIGS. 2A and/or 2B and/or other embodiments described herein) such as SoCs, including first and second processor cores (i.e., processor cores 1074 a and 1074 b and processor cores 1084 a and 1084 b), although potentially many more cores may be present in the processors. In addition, processors 1070 and 1080 each may include a secure engine 1075 and 1085 to perform security operations such as attestations, IoT network onboarding or so forth.

First processor 1070 further includes a memory controller hub (MCH) 1072 and point-to-point (P-P) interfaces 1076 and 1078. Similarly, second processor 1080 includes a MCH 1082 and P-P interfaces 1086 and 1088.

In addition, a wireless transceiver 1390, which may be a Bluetooth™ low energy or other short-range wireless transceiver is present to enable wireless communications as described herein. In different implementations a wearable module can take many other forms. Wearable and/or IoT devices have, in comparison with a typical general purpose CPU or a GPU, a small form factor, low power requirements, limited instruction sets, relatively slow computation throughput, or any of the above.
